TRIM

Watch the Trim prompts carefully. You cannot pick the objects to trim until you have selected all cutting edges (the edge to which the object is trimmed) and pressed the <Enter> key, so that the prompt Select object to trim or shift-select to extend or [Fence Crossing Project Edge eRase Undo]: appears. If you are unable to trim an object because it does not intersect a cutting edge, and you have selected all as the cutting edges, hold the <Shift> key down and click on the entity to extend while still in the TRIM command.

• Step 10. Use the TRIM command to trim the horizontal wall lines between the two 5″ vertical lines that represent the door opening (Figure 3-5), as described next:

  Prompt	Response

  Select object to trim or Shift-select to extend or [cuTting edges Crossing mOde Project eRase]	Click CuTting edges in the command-line window, or type T
  Select objects or <select all>:	P2→ (the 5″ vertical line; Figure 3-5)
  Select objects: 1 found
  Select objects:	P4→ (the second 5″ vertical line)
  Select objects: 1 found, 2 total
  Select objects:	<Enter>
  Select object to trim or Shift-select to extend or [Fence Crossing Project Edge eRase Undo]:	Click the two horizontal wall lines between P2→ and P4→ (Figure 3-5)
  	<Enter> (to complete the command)

• Step 11. Set layer a-door current.
